im not gonna answer that srsly but i will say there are different forms of intelligence, i lack practical intelligence but im good at theoretical or creative s***, it balances everything out cus id probably be a supervillian if i wasnt kinda dumb

im just yankin ya chain
good to be aware of the different intelligences
everyone gotta have their own nerf to keep things in balance

And expect it to be framed as child care that's either cheaper or 'better' somehow

I was surprised trump never pushed it this way leading up to the election, but im certain it's coming

Aren't certain US politicians trying to get rid of the department of education amidst all of this

it's a performative slogan

On the other hand I feel like you can learn most math as long as you just keep practicing and doing the same kind of problem over and over again, and just try to understand every step. Only problem is this just can take a lot of time.

Empire?

I been thinking about tutoring on the side for extra income
Might as well put my good math knowledge to use lol

I am good at the maths. Watch me:

1-2 = 4

4+5 = 0

starting charging $40 an hour when i was in college 2009-2014. Got to around $90 an hour a few years back

ended up trying to advertise and got so much work i had to hire people and make it real

yes that is how one becomes good at things

Pretty sure this trend has also been noticed in other countries as well. Social media + phones destroying youth minds

im past thinking the government doesn’t care about us and i think they actually just don’t like us whichever way you swing it

common core. just think about it. thank me later.

No offense but I don't know why people didn't come to this realization even back in the late 2000s with that crash. I was a freshman in highschool realizing the government doesn't do things to help people, but to give business space to attain unlimited increases in value

The government views humans as a tool. Or at least capitalism does. We arent ruled over for the betterment of man, but to increase stock prices

facts

cocomelon moment

Michael Jackson is the greatest artist of the 21st century.

Would’ve thought that Covid timeframe f***ed these kids up

No way kids were doing as well as they would’ve in a classroom

even math teachers suck ass at explaining this

'you wont have a calc in your pocket' ass teachers

all they need to do is make kids understand math is a cusp behavior that leads to a huge amount of skills down the road, which you can only learn with math skills first

I think Covid and lockdowns just exacerbated the same problems as kids then spent even more time plugged in

Article emphasizes this was a problem before covid

The problem at least coming up was some schools had weird curriculums that weren’t the best at explaining the concepts (e.g. i can vouch, the one math class in sophomore year in hs I failed by 1 point and the highest grade in said class was an 87. And the specific math curriculum got so many complaints they switched it back to where it used to be AFTER we graduated.)

Context: you know how there would be a class on algebra, a class on geometry, a class on trigonometry, etc?

Imagine a class that just combines all that together in messy function. Reviewing not even top quality either. That was the curriculum
